Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

Eclipses come in twos!

Since we had a solar eclipse in Libra two weeks ago on October 14th, that means we’re having a lunar eclipse, but this time instead of it happening in Aries, it’s happening in Taurus.

This is significant because this is the last time the eclipses will be occurring on the Taurus-Scorpio axis until the year 2031. The first eclipses that happened on the sign of the Bull and the Scorpion, happened back in November 2021. Where you have Taurus and Scorpio in your chart, especially if you have prominent Scorpio or Taurus placements, then you will have, ideally, experienced great shifts in the houses that those signs occupy. I’ll provide horoscopes down below so you can gain insights as to what themes were highlighted during the past two years.

Lunar eclipses are supercharged full moons. And full moons on their own, generally speaking, emotions are heightened. We’ll want to approach this weekend with mindfulness and responsiveness because things can get dramatic quickly if we’re not careful.

Why?

On top of it being a lunar eclipse, we have Jupiter and Mars opposing one another.

When Mars and Jupiter Meet Through an Opposition:

• The shadow frequency

  • Reactiveness instead of responsiveness

  • Explosiveness

    • Anger, rage, and frustration

  • Unnecessary conflicts

  • Extravagant miscalculations

    • Due to over overconfidence or overestimating one's abilities

• The higher frequency

  • Motivation to work toward our goals

  • Defending the defenseless

  • Fighting for our beliefs

  • Confidence, faith, and enthusiasm

  • Courageous risk to go after our desires

With Mars and Jupiter interacting with one another in tense geometry, heated emotions can expand quickly. This weekend, if someone cuts you off, let them. Roll with the punches. You can't control how others act but you can control how you respond. You don't have to match their energy. Be the bigger person and walk away.

What does the lunar eclipse in Taurus mean for me?

In general, when the Moon is in Taurus, the vibes are =

• Listen to your inner animal

• Prioritize peace

• Indulge the senses

• Expose yourself to beauty (nature, art, music, etc.)

• Approaching the days with practicality

While all this is true, this weekend, the level of emotions are turned up to maximum. Why? Because not only is it a full moon, but it’s a lunar eclipse. People do tend to be more sensitive at this time, but there’s also more energy in the air.

Balance the intensity of Scorpio with the simple motivations of Taurus by slowing down, connecting to the body, and eating good food. Jupiter will be joining the party, so enhance your mood by laughing and celebrating life with good company.

What’s being illuminated this weekend are the things that we value and bring us peace, stability, and security. Where you have Taurus and Scorpio in your chart, that is the area of life that was, hopefully, transformed in order to cultivate a strong and sturdy foundation during the last two years.

I’ll share a horoscope reading to get more of an idea of where this action will be happening for you. Look to your Ascendant/Rising sign for an accurate interpretation. I always advise with these general horoscope readings that they may not land for you because the themes may be happening in a different area for you due to how your chart is set up. So the true way to understand what’s happening for you is to receive a consultation.

Lunar Eclipse in Taurus Horoscopes

When looking at your horoscope, think back on the major events that were unfolding back in November 2021 pertaining to those themes highlighted in your horoscopes. With this final eclipse happening on the Taurus-Scorpio axis, that won’t be happening until another ten years, you’ve reached a culmination point where you have grown in the two houses occupied by the Bull and the Scorpion.

The areas of life where you’ve been asked to think about where you had to be honest with yourself so you can transform and enhance the things that you value and bring you peace are…

• Aries Rising (8th-2nd House Axis):

  • Money, resources, power, shadow work, taking concrete action on the things that enhance your self-worth, and having important conversations with your lover.

• Taurus Rising (1st-7th House Axis):

  • Life direction, self-actualization, your style, doing what you want to do while also balancing the needs and wants of your personal relationships.

  • Spirituality, solitude, letting things go, health, daily responsibilities, work-life balance, and knowing when to rest and when to go hard in the paint with work.

• Cancer Rising ( 11th-5th House Axis):

  • Getting clear as to what your long-term goals are, keeping your eye on the prize, aligning yourself with the right groups of people, investing more in what brings you joy, and being able to authentically express your inward state to the outside.

• Leo Rising (10th-4th House Axis):

  • Career goals vs. family life, public persona vs. inner persona, and being out in the world vs. spending time at home

• Virgo Rising (9th-3rd House Axis):

  • Life perspective, philosophy, gaining clarity of one’s voice, communication, learning, teaching, writing, and traveling.

• Libra Rising (8th-2nd House Axis):

  • The bond you have with your lover, sexual department, taboo subjects, sense of power, shared resources, self-esteem, and finances.

  • Equality-based relationships, freedom, putting yourself in other’s shoes, and making big life-path decisions.

• Sagittarius Rising (6th-12th House Axis):

  • Aligning yourself to work that matters, finding the right teachers, knowing when to let things go, balancing work with the appropriate amount of rest, and tending to your spiritual and physical health.

• Capricorn Rising (5th-11th House Axis):

  • Getting clear as to what brings you joy, being able to authentically express yourself, aligning with the right allies, and knowing where you want to go and prioritizing the steps to help you get there.

• Aquarius Rising (4th-10th House Axis):

  • Balancing home life with work life, spending quality time going deep within yourself so you can gain clarity as to what you want to be remembered for, and cultivating healthy relationships with those you call family.

• Pisces Rising (3rd-9th House Axis):

  • Finding one’s voice, communication, broadcasting, speaking, teaching, writing, world perspective, life view, philosophy, morals, and ethics.

Hopefully the nodes’ passage through the Taurus-Scorpio axis was able to support you in the areas highlighted in your Rising’s horoscope. Now that the nodes have shifted into the Aries-Libra axis, new themes will be illuminated for the next two years.

I woke up at 5:30 this Saturday morning with energy, so I worked on this newsletter for you. This Mars-Jupiter opposition is at its peak as I'm writing this, therefore I'm going to funnel this vitality by going to the gym.

This weekend, be present and watch how the energy unfolds within you and around you.

Once again, you can’t control the actions of others, but you can control how you respond.

Your ally,
Andre
